One of Larry Towell’s photographs featured in TERRITORIES by Concordia professor Mary Ellen Davis
This special double screening event is co-sponsored by Tadamon! Montreal
TERRITORIES director and Concordia professor Mary Ellen Davis will lead a Q & A following the screening of her film.
SHORT SYNOPSIS - TERRITORIES: A giant in the world of documentary photography, Larry Towell has garnered several top-level honors, including the 2005 Priz Nadar and the first Henri Cartier-Bresson Award. This program follows Towell as he uses his camera to confront foreboding landscapes and shed light on struggling communities—drawing parallels between the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border. Towell also reflects on the creative process, offers insight into the photojournalist’s trade, and describes his experiences as an eyewitness to the 9/11 attack on New York City. His thoughtful commentary accompanies numerous examples of his work.
